KABUL (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 19th September, 2018) The recent aggravation of situation in Afghanistan took place due to the interference of the United States in the internal affairs of the country, as well as to Washington's desire to benefit from the long-standing conflict, Shabaz Naseri, the chairman of defense and security commission of the National Assembly, told Sputnik.

The security situation in Afghanistan has recently been worsening with clashes and attacks by militants erupting practically every day in different parts of the country, which claim lives of police officers, servicemen, security personnel and civilians. The last major Taliban attack took place on Monday, which left at least 15 policemen killed.

"The situation in Afghanistan has not improved recently, but on the contrary, it is getting worse with every passing day ... This is because the United States intervened in the affairs of our country. Being there, they [the United States] are trying to benefit from this war, and their presence does not suit our neighboring countries," Naseri said.

Naseri noted with regret that the current government and the president of Afghanistan "cannot pursue an independent policy," and all high-level decisions "are taken for them by the United States, and this negatively affects the security situation."
